Hey I never thought about those points. I have a bunch of offers now and then but always refuse to schedule an interview due to a fear of having to turn down the offer and having this feeling of making the interviewer lose his time. Have you ever had this feeling in any interview?
All the time. But, after being on the other side of the table, I have realised that good interviewers/companies dont feel bad. After all, they have to choose 1 from many good candidates. Here, its you choosing from multiple companies, which would hopefully be the case if you are actively looking. The only difference is that your current company is also in the mix.
You could also try what I do - I am upfront with the interviewer in the initial chat that I am happy where I am and will need something exceptional to move. Its upto them whether they continue or not. So far, everyone has continued with the process. But it takes the pressure of you. Personally. If someone decided to stop the process for this reason, it might not be the best place anyway.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
